Apstrakt projekta

Centralno pitanje istraživačkog projekta je problem emancipacije u kontekstu spektakla. Polazeći od situacionističke teze, ovaj pojam je šire posmatran kao drugo ime aktuelnog društvenog postava, te u užem smislu kao jezik i program koji kroz estetsku sferu instalira matrice reprodukcije uspostavljene socijalne dinamike, i formatira svijest pojedinca za spremnost da u njima voljno učestvuje. Istraživanje treba da ispita da li je i pod kojim uslovima još moguć otpor spektaklu u estetskoj dimenziji. Naglasak je stavljen na dramske umjetnosti, koje se u istraživanju posmatraju u svojoj dvosmislenosti – kao instrument reprodukcije vladajuće spektakularne stvarnosti, ali i kao polje mogućeg egzistencijalnog eksperimentisanja tj. kroz estetsku dimenziju konkretizovane refleksije, kao oblika pripreme za bitno novu formu senzibilnosti i kolektivnog iskustva, kroz koju bi se mogli aktivirati i emancipovati impulsi koji su u aktuelnoj dinamici podvrgnuti represiji, a koji vode kvalitativno novoj transkapitalističkoj arhitektonici pojedinca i kolektiviteta.
